The cemetery, which is still partially preserved, was in front of the village. There was a school in the village in 1781, after one had been built in Neuglashütten four years earlier . In the middle of the 19th century some residents emigrated to Hungary. Their village was also called Altglashütten.

Because of the demand of the National Socialist regime for more military training areas for the Wehrmacht , the Dammersfeld was also planned as a military training area. The eviction date was April 1, 1938. As early as 1937, many residents left the village. Some settled in the region. Others moved to the Offenbach area or to Lower Bavaria.

After the Second World War, plans were made to repopulate the area. The plan was soon abandoned. Buildable material was fetched and the houses demolished.
